Better than Expected

Rating: 9/10 (28 July 2005)

Whoever said Michael Bay was a horrible director needs to see The Island. Not only is it starring two very good actors, it also has an interesting plot line.
Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johannson shine in this film. Both take on the roles with superb performances, especially in the scene where Lincoln Six echo encounters Tom Lincoln, his "counterpart" if you will. Also, Sean Bean returns to play a great villain in Dr. Merrick.
The special effects are also pretty cool, although there are only a few very visible ones. The plot also creates a good movie, basing it in the not-so-distant future.
This movie is sure to entertain anyone who loves a good action film. My recommendation? Go see it!
